Formula E has today announced it expects to double the number of participants for its Season 10 FIA Girls on Track programme, presented by Hankook, as it heads into the double-header finale in London on 20th and 21st July.
Reaffirming its commitment to education and gender inclusivity in motorsport, the all-electric series is set to top more than 2,000 participants in its season-long campaign, surpassing Season 9’s total of 1,080.
Focusing on engaging with young women from within host cities and their diverse communities, the programme provides an immersive educational experience with workshops at track along with offsite talks in schools and universities.
This season Formula E expanded its FIA Girls on Track experiences to local girls aged 12-18 at all race locations, delivering 27 events across 11 race weekends both at track and in communities. This season also saw 70 women from across the Formula E paddock deliver inspirational career talks, helping provide guidance and advice for varied roles across engineering, technology, driving, team management, sustainability, media and marketing.
During the day-long experience, women from within the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship took the girls through sessions focused on STEM subjects, motorsport, sustainability and media, including the opportunity to put their driving skills to the test on bespoke e-karting tracks or racing simulators. For the first time in Season 10, the experience also included one of the young women to have a role on the podium at every winner’s ceremony.
